Comments on: Washington DC security guards clueless about photographers’ rights http://carlosmiller.com/2008/06/02/washington-dc-security-guards-clueless-about-photographers-rights/ It's a First Amendment Right Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:55:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: Nuitnoel http://carlosmiller.com/2008/06/02/washington-dc-security-guards-clueless-about-photographers-rights/#comment-20193 Nuitnoel Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:54:09 +0000 http://carlosmiller.com/2008/06/02/washington-dc-security-guards-clueless-about-photographers-rights/#comment-20193 Does anyone know why a DHS agent would prohibit an individual from recording his/her own responses during an interview? Know any laws supporting the prohibition? What about having two persons be present for the interview? How about being denied these options and then the law enforcement agent actually lies about what the individual said? Having the recording would have been a record of what was actually said? Lastly, it was a DHS agent and the agency refuses to respond to the person's request as to why he/she could not record the responses or why the person could not have two individuals present for the interview since there were two agents. Any one have some thoughts? Does anyone know why a DHS agent would prohibit an individual from recording his/her own responses during an interview? Know any laws supporting the prohibition?

Any one have some thoughts?

This happened to me about a year ago. I was photographing the ceilings. The ceilings! And this security guard comes up and says I'm not allowed to photograph inside. No reason given.
